¹ Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:

² But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

³ For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

⁴ Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

⁵ And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

⁶ And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

⁷ And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

⁸ Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.

⁹ So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

¹ Manasseh ^H4519 was twelve ^{H8147 H6240} years ^H8141 old ^H1121 when he began to reign, ^H4427 and he reigned ^H4427 fifty ^H2572 and five ^H2568 years ^H8141 in Jerusalem: ^H3389

² But did ^H6213 that which was evil ^H7451 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD, ^H3068 like unto the abominations ^H8441 of the heathen, ^H1471 whom the LORD ^H3068 had cast out ^H3423 before ^H6440 the children ^H1121 of Israel. ^H3478

³ For he built ^H1129 again ^H7725 the high places ^H1116 which Hezekiah ^H3169 his father ^H1 had broken down, ^H5422 and he reared up ^H6965 altars ^H4196 for Baalim, ^H1168 and made ^H6213 groves, ^H842 and worshipped ^H7812 all the host ^H6635 of heaven, ^H8064 and served ^H5647 them.

⁴ Also he built ^H1129 altars ^H4196 in the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068 whereof the LORD ^H3068 had said, ^H559 In Jerusalem ^H3389 shall my name ^H8034 be for ever. ^H5769

⁵ And he built ^H1129 altars ^H4196 for all the host ^H6635 of heaven ^H8064 in the two ^H8147 courts ^H2691 of the house ^H1004 of the LORD. ^H3068

⁶ And he caused ^H5674 his children ^H1121 to pass through ^H5674 the fire ^H784 in the valley ^H1516 of the son ^H1121 of Hinnom: ^H2011 also he observed times, ^H6049 and used enchantments, ^H5172 and used witchcraft, ^H3784 and dealt ^H6213 with a familiar spirit, ^H178 and with wizards: ^H3049 he wrought ^H6213 much ^H7235 evil ^H7451 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD, ^H3068 to provoke him to anger. ^H3707

⁷ And he set ^H7760 a carved image, ^H6459 the idol ^H5566 which he had made, ^H6213 in the house ^H1004 of God, ^H430 of which God ^H430 had said ^H559 to David ^H1732 and to Solomon ^H8010 his son, ^H1121 In this house, ^H1004 and in Jerusalem, ^H3389 which I have chosen ^H977 before all the tribes ^H7626 of Israel, ^H3478 will I put ^H7760 my name ^H8034 for ever: ^H5865

⁸ Neither will I any more ^H3254 remove ^H5493 the foot ^H7272 of Israel ^H3478 from out ^H5921 of the land ^H127 which I have appointed ^H5975 for your fathers; ^H1 so that ^H518 they will take heed ^H8104 to do ^H6213 all that I have commanded ^H6680 them, according to the whole law ^H8451 and the statutes ^H2706 and the ordinances ^H4941 by the hand ^H3027 of Moses. ^H4872

⁹ So Manasseh ^H4519 made ^H8582 Judah ^H3063 and the inhabitants ^H3427 of Jerusalem ^H3389 to err, ^H8582 and to do ^H6213 worse ^H7451 than the heathen, ^H1471 whom the LORD ^H3068 had destroyed ^H8045 before ^H6440 the children ^H1121 of Israel. ^H3478

¹ Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem.

² And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, after the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah cast out before the children of Israel.

³ For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baalim, and made Asheroth, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

⁴ And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, whereof Jehovah said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

⁵ And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of Jehovah.

⁶ He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he practised augury, and used enchantments, and practised sorcery, and dealt with them that had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

⁷ And he set the graven image of the idol, which he had made, in the house of God, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

⁸ neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the ordinances `given' by Moses.

⁹ And Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did evil more than did the nations whom Jehovah destroyed before the children of Israel.

¹ A son of twelve years is Manasseh in his reigning, and fifty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem;

³ and he turneth and buildeth the high places that Hezekiah his father hath broken down, and raiseth altars for Baalim, and maketh shrines, and boweth himself to all the host of the heavens, and serveth them.

⁷ And he placeth the graven image of the idol that he made in the house of God, of which God said unto David, and unto Solomon his son, `In this house, and in Jerusalem that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I put My name to the age,

⁸ and I add not to turn aside the foot of Israel from off the ground that I appointed to your fathers, only, if they watch to do all that I have commanded them -- to all the law, and the statutes, and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.'

⁹ And Manasseh maketh Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, to do evil above the nations that Jehovah destroyed from the presence of the sons of Israel.

¹ Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he was ruling for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

² He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.

³ For he put up again the high places which had been pulled down by his father Hezekiah; and he made altars for the Baals, and pillars of wood, and was a worshipper and servant of all the stars of heaven;

⁴ And he made altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will my name be for ever.

⁵ And he made altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.

⁶ More than this, he made his children go through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he made use of secret arts, and signs for reading the future, and unnatural powers, and gave positions to those who had control of spirits and to wonder-workers: he did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath.

⁷ And he put the image he had made in the house of God, the house of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

⁸ And never again will I let the feet of Israel be moved out of the land which I have given to their fathers; if only they will take care to do all my orders, even all the law and the orders and the rules given to them by Moses.

⁹ And Manasseh made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go out of the true way, so that they did more evil than those nations whom the Lord gave up to destruction before the children of Israel.
